Interoceptive training

There will be 6 interoceptive training sessions carried out over two months. Each training session will comprise two blocks, between which participants will undergo a self-paced, light physical activity that aims to enhance heartbeat perception and lasts 2 to 3 minutes. During the pre- and post-exercise block, each participant will complete cardiac interoceptive tasks, and for each trial, note their confidence in their answer on a visual analogue scale and then be given accurate feedback about their objective heartbeat perception accuracy and the accuracy of their subjective confidence rating, relative to their objective accuracy.
